I've been heavily engaged in IF for just a few years, but have been playing since the early eighties. I edit the SPAG newsletter (http://www.sparkynet.com/spag); write occasional reviews in SPAG and elsewhere; developed and maintain the Filfre Z-Code and Glulx interpreter for Windows; wrote a rather long history of the form; and as of this writing have just completed my first full-length game, The King of Shreds and Patches. Information on all of the above can be found on my home page at http://maher.filfre.net. Thanks for your curiosity about me, and if you have articles or ideas for articles that might of interest to SPAG readers please drop me a line.
